Hi everyone, today I’m excited to share this amazing Advent Calendar!

I’m so proud of this one and love how it’s turned out.

It took me about a day and a half to make but that included thinking up all the measurements, so if you have everything ready you can make this within a day.

It’s a lovely keepsake and something I’m going to enjoy displaying each year.

I love this cute wintery scene, and the warm lights work really well. I still need to get some presents to sit on the sleigh and complete the scene.

I continued the lights around the roof with the skinny tinsel and finished it off with a large satin bow.

Each of the boxes will perfectly fit 1 Tunnocks Teacake, but of course, you can fill them with anything you want.
